Organized BMX in NJ began in Millville in 1976. This is the fourth part of an interview series with one of the racing pioneers who would eventually go on to race and win against the established pros of that era in BMX racing. The man’s name is Dave Dechert. In this segment, Dave talks about […]
The year, 1982. The photography,The Legendary Bob Osborn. The Magazine, BMX Action (um..legendary as well.) On the left outside? NJ’s own Dave Dechert. NJ Getting the press for over a 1/4 century.
At one point, like I and many others have told before, BMX just about died. In the early 90’s the bottom dropped out of the BMX freestyle market, America went to war and some of us were left wondering what would happen to the sport we grew up doing. A few of us didn’t wonder, […]
Dave sent these pics over to me a few weeks ago and since I’ve been busy upgrading all my stuff over here to Vista and 64 bit computing…(It’s a pain…) it took a while to get these to the point where I could post ’em. These shots are pretty small but interesting as all get […]
Brian Shute has been cool enough to send over more shots from the early and mid 80’s days of BMX racing in NJ, PA and the east coast. He also scanned in some memorabilia. One of which is a funny as hell note left by Franco Perrino when Brian was riding for Dic’s bike shop… […]
Tim has been super busy on the scanner the past couple days and sent me some more stuff over. I got this on my blackberry today and immediately knew it HAD to be on the site ASAP. Below are the scans from the 1977 NBL Northeast National Program in Millville. This IS New Jersey roots […]
Another OBMXG (original BMX gangsta, lol) signed up the other day and told me he had a bunch of old school shots from NJ, wanted to know if I wanted to see them… OF COURSE! Another one of the great guys who raced all the way at the beginning here in NJ has opened up […]
Coming out of ABA NJ District 3, Brian Shute would dominate the southern NJ scene for several years in the mid 80’s. He went on to become pro and left the scene near the end of 1987. For more on Brian click here. He was good enough to let me copy a ton of old […]
Brian Shute. In the mid to late 80’s a new wave of racers were coming into play in NJ. Brian was one of them. Hailing from the south NJ area, he was a local to Clayton BMX and Deptford. Undisputably one of the fastest riders to come out of NJ in that time, he would […]
It’s been summer since we last checked in with Brian Shute’s archived BMX footage and since it is the holidays we figured it may be time to give a bit of an old school present to the NJ racers. So here is another installment of classic 80’s racing video. Without further rambling…here is more of […]
